Added to the bakery, which adjoined the bin on the northeast side, this was a secure storage place for flour supplied by the Moravians' mill (1755). This bakery supplied the town with bread unitl it was replaced by a new bakery in 1782.

"(Meeting) was held to consider defense against the Indians. A large flour bin was finished on the third, near the bakery, so that in case of need there would be an ample supply of flour on hand inside the fort. It was decided to stockade the mill and to strengthen our palisade here."
Bethabara Diary, April 7, 1758.
